But there was never a moment when I wondered what was coming next or thought, "Damn! I can't believe they did that!"<br /><br />Granted, it's really hard to knock an audience on its collective ass with a remake, because they come in with a least some idea what to expect.<br /><br />But for me that's less a reason to cut the new <em>Nightmare on Elm Street</em> some slack that a reason to say for the umpteenth time that any original idea -- like, say, <em>The Human Centipede</em> -- is better than just about any remake.<br /><br />I didn't love <em>Human Centipede</em>, but it sure as hell got my attention by being monstrous in a way I honestly can't claim to have seen before.<br /><br />And I've seen plenty...miss flickchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494437096298634254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264186707416192943.post-76286745793291282442010-05-05T12:03:59.073-07:002010-05-05T12:03:59.073-07:00Maitland, I would appreciate a little more info on...Maitland, I would appreciate a little more info on what you did not like about the new Elm Street movie. Can you compare the "horror" of this modern version to the original?<br /><br />For example, the famous bedroom scene was pretty prefect in the original. I will never forget it. Do they attempt that scene in the remake? If so, I assume CGI... did it work?achyfakeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989627337802646906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264186707416192943.post-53677503195475792002010-05-04T18:06:55.202-07:002010-05-04T18:06:55.202-07:00I wasn't sure if I wanted to see The Human Cen...I wasn't sure if I wanted to see The Human Centipede until I read your description of Dieter Laser as "the bastard offspring of Udo Kier and Christopher Walken."
